I'm making a floating island generator in unity as a project for college using layered marching squares.

Devlog: My Unity arena roguelike “Chains on Sand” – inspired by DF combat, early mockups + systems inside

Hi all!

I’m working solo on a Unity project called *Chains on Sand*, a dark fantasy arena roguelike inspired by the chaotic beauty of Dwarf Fortress’s combat engine.

The core loop is:

* Start as a weak, unequipped gladiator
* Fight in tactical, turn-based combat
* Win XP, loot enemies, gear up
* Lose and die permanently
* Climb in fame… or fall forgotten

I’m coding systems like limb targeting, knockdowns, blood loss, gear durability, traits, and a popularity mechanic that changes how the crowd reacts to your decisions (e.g., spare or kill a defeated opponent).

The art is still mostly mockups, but I’ve started shaping a visual style using AI placeholders and stylized UI concepts. I’d love any feedback — especially from other solo Unity devs!

It's hard finding time while on active duty, but my hobby project is coming along.

How could I make these blend into the sky like actual celestial bodies in the daytime sky? Keep in mind these are actual models

Upgrading unity

I'm still on unity 2023.1.7. Is it worth upgrading to unity 6? I'm about 3/4 way through a project I built around the 2023 version and worried that I will have to change a lot to make it work with the new version. Is it worth it?

how do i put ground_spr on top of skybox_spr? the tutorial i was following referred to something called 'sorting layers' but my version of unity is different from theirs.
